I didn’t see Viv as a bitch, but I didn’t like her because she was in favor of keeping the circles going. Cole was creepy and Solas was a bastard. Thankfully, there was another mage. A fabulous mage.
yeah i understand if she rubs people the wrong way, she is a really blunt, prickly person - at first anyway; once you get her approval up, god ya’ll she just loves you so much. and i know people are really anti-circle. but for me personally, i haven’t played dao awakening or da2, so i don’t feel i have an informed enough opinion on circles to say whether or not i think they blanket statement can never ever work. (i have also never played as a mage.) couldn’t you, in theory, just build them from the ground up, with more pro-mage people in charge, and less templars? make it less like a jail and more like... just a place where mages live and study? like the one vivienne grew up in?
i legit have no idea if this is even possible, if it’s the system that is flawed (in which case, change the system) or just everything about them. do the other games establish them as inherently unfixable? again, i have no idea.
